Reaction Steps

A mixture of about 104.1 grams (1.0 mole) benzonitrile, about 63.1 grams (1.03 mole) ethanolamine, and about 6.2 grams (0.025 mole) cadmium acetate dihydrate is heated and stirred at about 125 degrees C. to about 130 degrees C. under nitrogen for about two days. The product is distilled under vacuum and the fraction boiling at about 120 degrees C. to about 121 degrees C. at 16 mmHg is collected.
